Success seems to happen only if you follow a certain sequence of steps.

$ akonadictl stop
$ rm -rfv ~/.local/share/akonadi*
$ rm -rfv ~/.config/akonadi/*
$ rm -rfv ~/.kde/share/config/*
$ akonadictl start

Log into your Gmail account via the web. Go to mail settings | Forwarding and 
POP/IMAP. Under "When I mark..." turn off auto-expunge. Under "When a 
message..." select "Immediately delete."

Then, in KMail, don't use the account wizard. Instead, manually configure your 
Gmail settings. When configuring your IMAP resource, after entering your Google 
credentials on the General tab, be sure to go to the Advanced tab and click 
the Auto Detect button.

Let KMail perform its initial sync, then close it. Now open it. Return to the 
configuration window. Modify your identity and set your sent-mail and drafts 
folders to the folders on Google. Modify your IMAP resource and set the trash 
folder to Google.
